Jewish Diaspora is the scattering of the Jews around the world far from their homeland. It happened because their homeland was taken over by the Babylonians who sent the Jews into exile. Their homeland was then controlled by several different groups which made it difficult for them to return for over 2000 years. 7.

The Rabbis also created religious services to be used in the synagogues. These services are the model for all Jewish, Christian, and Muslim services today. 8.
